Lions lead GB from the front

Lions lead GB from the front

The European Championships are over but what a contribution it was that your Lions’ players made. With 19 Lions involved, courtesy of 16 players, 2 coaches and 1 assistant team manager, Britain’s premier side made their contributions felt far and wide, notably:

3 of the 4 Great Britain captains were Lions in Phoebe Schecter (Team Captain), Michelle Gywnne and Jo Kilby;

Lions featured in all of GB’s MVP awards – Linebacker Schecter against Germany, Gwynne (as part of the offensive line’s award) against Sweden and Running Back Ruth Matta against Finland;

Matta shouldered more carries (65) and more yards (243) than any other GB Running Back.

None of the above, of course, could have been achieved without the entirety of the squad showing their worth but it’s good to know your Lions delivered so royally for country as they did all season for club.
